Records: Workers at FBI, State Dept., other agencies used D.C. Madam escort service

Employees from the FBI, IRS, Japanese Embassy, Department of Commerce, State Department and the Coast Guard frequented the D.C. Madam between 2000 and 2006, according to her attorney.

Deborah Jean Palfrey ran an escort service in Washington between 2000 and 2006 and had clients with 174 companies, organizations and government agencies in the nation's capital, according to documents filed by her attorney Monday. No names of individuals have been released by Montgomery Blair Sibley, who represented Palfrey.

Palfrey died from an apparent suicide in 2008 shortly after being convicted and sentenced.

In his emergency motion filed with the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia, Sibley wrote he had been forced to keep quiet about the clients since restraining orders were filed in 2007. He said information he has could affect the 2016 presidential election.
